•  To avoid electrical shock or damage to equipment, disconnect 

power before installing or servicing and use only wiring with 
insulation rated for full device operating voltage.

•  To avoid potential fire and/or explosion do not use in potentially 

flammable or explosive atmospheres.

•  Retain these instructions for future reference.
•  This product, when installed, will be part of an engineered 

system whose specifications and performance characteristics 
are not designed or controlled by HK Instruments. Review 
applications and national and local codes to assure that the 
installation will be functional and safe. Use only experienced and 
knowledgeable technicians to install this device.

SPECIFICATIONS

Thank  you  for  choosing  an  HK  Instruments  RHT-MOD  series  rela-
tive humidity transmitter. The RHT-MOD series is intended for use in 
commercial environments in HVAC/R applications.

The RHT-MOD measures relative humidity (rH), and temperature (T). 
RHT-MOD devices are available with large touchscreen display mak-
ing configuration of the device quick and easy.

RHT-MOD series devices are commonly used to monitor:
• humidity and temperature levels in offices, public spaces, hospitals, 

meeting rooms and classrooms

• humidity and temperature in various commercial applications
• humidity and temperature in HVAC/R environment
